Fed Gov Lisa Cook’s lawyer fires back at Trump's renewed threat to oust her

Thursday, August 27, 2026


Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook's legal team responded after President Trump indicated he would attempt to remove her from office. The Supreme Court ruled in late June that Trump could not immediately fire Cook, though the decision left open the possibility of future removal attempts through other legal mechanisms. Cook was appointed to the Federal Reserve Board in 2022 and confirmed by the Senate.
